Remy Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 What are the plugs that are in the sight base screws holes on the rear barrel-receiver area on a SBE II. Are they plastice or metal. Since they don't have slots---how do you remove them. I thought I would ask instead of scratching something up trying to figure it out. Personally I wish they would not have drilled and tapped the birdshot barrels on the SBE. If I wanted to mount a scope-----I would buy a rifled slug barrel !!

tucker301 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 They should be hard rubber or plastic, and the simplest way to pop them out would be to remove the barrel and push them out from the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudhen Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Plastic. Tap them out from the inside. Many, many, folks put bases on smoothbore guns for a variety of reasons; turkey hunting optics being one, optics for shooting Fosters-style slugs being another. Btw - what is a birdshot barrel?... mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remy Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 mudhen, What I meant was a smoothbore, vent-rib barrel for wing shooting in contrast to a rifled slug barrel. Not the best wording I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet a few million dead deer in states like Iowa would disagree that 'birdshot' barrels are for wingshooting only mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
